chris: will barack obama do well in the town hall format? we asked the matthews meter, 12 of our regulars, will obama make effective use of the stuff he kept off the table in the first debate? 10 say yes and two say no. andrea, he couldn't do worse. >> on "hardball" the night after the debate, you did a better debate. chris: i had the gift of hindsight. is he going to do it this thursday? >> the format is actually better for him because he'll be talking to people and reacting to them but at the same time i don't know there's ever as good a format as the first one which was free sailing. he had unlimited time to make his points and respond to the agenda. chris: the other guy proved how much time he can take. >> the most memorable moments in all the debates i've watched have happened in this town hall meeting format and most of them have involved body language. the limitations of this format is that it is tougher to get angry and respond in a tough way to your opponent because people might say -- might grown and say they didn't like it. >> the

the heart of romney's argument against obama is obama hasn't helped the economy. ohio is a state it is doing better than the national of a range the auto bailout has a practical effect on people's lives, know people working in auto plant, suppliers of auto plant and the natural gas boom, a little beneath the radar has helped the unemployment rate in ohio. that is has resulted in obama dog better nationally better than nationalism people talking about the possibility romney could pull out of ohio and still win. i think that's very difficult to envision. if romney loses ohio, in particular if ohio is long gone, obama is going to win you can the votes aren't there else where to make up for the loss of those 18 electoral votes. >> nate, i want to talk about you, talk about you for a second? >> if you really want. >> you are the political blogging star of 2012. you are the hot new guy that all the smart kids want to read and talk about and listen to. how does that feel to be the cool new guy on the block? >> you know, i don't think i'm that cool, actually. for one, i'm
